>> the second place finisher wasn't too far behind. who knew they were still doing this. the '70s called they want their rubix cube back. thanks for watching "around the world" with us. cnn newsroom right now. just moments from now bradley manning accused in the largest leak of classify information in u.s. history will learn his fate. it sounded like bombs going off. multiple explosions at a propane plant just outside orlando, florida. injured eight workers. we're taking a closer look another what investigators think may have happened. green paint splattered on monuments around washington, d.c. a woman is arrested in two cases. who's behind this terrible

befacing and why doesn't security stop them? this is cnn newsroom. he's accused of biggest leak of classify information in u.s. history. critics call him a traitor. supporters say he's a hero. any minute we'll learn the verdict and court-martial of bradley manning. if convicted on the most serious charge of aiding the enemy he would be sentenced to life in prison. we'll have the verdict as soon as it's handed down. let's bring in our pentagon correspondent, barbara starr and also the military analyst at yale law school. this leak involved 750,000 classified pages of documents and videos. barbara, walk us through, when will we precisely learn what manning is facing? >> the court has been called back into session at this hour. we expect it at any minute.

cnn has people in the courtroom. as soon as it's read and military security allows them to leave the courtroom we'll get the information and we'll bring it to our viewers immediately. as you say on the table bradley manning 25 years old, private first class in the army. this young man could be facing in the next few minutes learning he will spend the rest of his life in jail if he's convicted of aiding the enemy. he's already pled guilty to some lesser charges that could get him a sentence of 20 years. the judge swrouwould have to ac that. all of us are waiting to hear the latest details. >> he's 25 years old. professor, the most serious charge, charge number one that he gave intelligence to the enemy through indirect means and that carries life in prison. he did give this information to wikileaks. what is your take on this?

>> it's a very serious charge. as you know he does stand a chance of getting the maximum punishment of life in prison. in fact, the statute permits a death sentence but the government took that off the table. it will be very interesting to see what the judge, who is an army colonel says when she announced her verdict in the case. >> some are saying he's a whistle blower and trying to help the country. the prosecution basically suggesting he's a traitor who is seeking the hurt the united states. that's the main arguments that the two sides lawyers have been making. >> reporter: i wouldn't have said either what the government said or what the defense said. as far as whether private manning is traitor, that should

not be band aided back. it has a unique stigma to it. unless someone is going to prosecute him for treason he shouldn't be labeled a traitor. i think the claim he's a whistle blower is off based. he may have had what he considers good intentions but at the end of the day it's not especially to every citizen to decide whether to share the count country's crown jewels with others. >> that raises the question. barbara, i don't know you've done a lot of reporting. 750,000 pages were handed over to wikileakss and a lot of that posted on the internet. a lot of it was classifieied secret. it waunt higher classification. based on everything you've heard, how much real damage to u.s. national security was done

as a result of this? >> this has been the debate all along and continues to be the debate in the snowden case. how much damage? people will tell you that bradley manning leaked a lot of information but it was information intelligence at a point in time. something that happened in iraq. something that happened in afghanistan. they will tell you that information was rapidly out of date by the time it was publi published and did no real harm to national security. to go to the professor's point, in this country, no member of the u.s. military, certainly a private first class has permission to decide what classified information at any level they can just download and distribute to the public. it's a crime. the question will be how hard will the judge come down on bradley manning and may be the same question that edward snowden faces someday in a u.s.

civilian court. both downloads classified information. stated their intentions but nobody has been able to say that they did not violate the law. >> i assume the judge, professor, will get a classified report, a dangmage assessment report for how much damage he made. that would have an impact on the sentence, right? >> yes, i assume that will be one of the issues in the sentencing phase of the case. viewers should understand that a court-martial has two phases. the first has to do with the individual guilty or not guilty and the second has to do with the sentence. we're going to finish phase one and move into phase two. we know we're going to have a phase two because private manning has pleaded guilty to a number of offenses. what's on the table now is those

offenses he's not pleaded guilty to. >> he's pleaded guilty to lesser offenses that don't carry life in prison. they carry maybe 20 years in prison but not life. we don't know if charge number one, he's innocent, guilty or not guilty. i want both of you to stand be. we'll continue the breaking news coverage. as soon as we get word we'll have it right here. stand by. we'll get back to this story as soon as we get word from the courthouse. it would include information on the so called white papers and undisclosed information about

the foreign intelligence surveillance court. last night on ac 360 the father of accused leaker edward snowden, the father said his son loves his country. >> northeahe's not living a come life. i know my son. i know he loves this country. what he believed is this information, the american people needed to be aware of what their government was doing to them. spying upon them. >> edward snowden is still believed to be in that airport in moscow while he negotiates his asylum. the fbi now has a new chief. >> on this vote the yays are 93. the nays are 1. two senators responded present. >> the senate confirmed that james comey to head the fbi.

the 93 to 1 vote came as rand paul dropped his filibuster. he had held up the nomination. senator paul was the lone vote against president obama's choice to take over the fbi. senator paul will be joining me in the situation room later today. here is what we're working on. explosions at a propane plant in florida. injured workers overnight. hear what the fire chief thinks may have caused these tremendous fire balls. housing prices gaining a lot of steam. we're looki ining at what this frs you. a real new jersey housewife in trouble with the law and so is her husband. we'll look at the serious federal charges they face. first we have breaking news. we have the verdict.

>> our producer has just left the courtroom and called in this information. he tells us private first class manning has been found not guilty. not guilty of aiding the enemy and that's the charge that might have carried the maximum sentence of life in prison. he was found guilty of most of the remaining charges against him with the judge accepting some of the guilty pleas he made to previous lesser charges. the other charges against manning have included wrongfully causing intelligence to be published on the internet, transmitting national defense information, theft of public property. we'll find out the details of what she's accepted in these other matters. the most fantastic for bradley manning found not guilty on the charge of aiding the enemy. i think it's very interesting because the prosecution made the

case that the information, some of it wound up in the hands of al qaeda. they made the case that bin laden, his materials were shown to have included. they believe some of the information in wikileakss. the basis for his information having aided the enemy. the pentagon tried to make the case from the beginning that bradley manning's leaks harmed national security. people could have been harmed and could have even died from his leaks of information. we will learn more about the judge's reasoning of finding him not guilty of aiding the enemy. it looks like not all points the prosecution tried to make were listened to by the judge. bradley manning found guilty on other charges. found guilty of down loading

classified information and illegally giving it to the public. wolf. >> are you surprised that he was found not guilty of charge number one giving intelligence to the enemy through indirect means? >> i'm not really surprised. i was trying to figure out what was more likely and i think that was slightly more likely than a conviction. remember, the burden of proof in a court-martial just like a regular court case is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. that's a very substantial undertaking by the government. a lot of cases that is survive a motion, in other words, motion to dismiss don't make it to the finish line. i'm just is surprising for

manning. >> is there intent? in order to convict him of this first charge aiding the enemy, if you will by indirect means the intent has to be proven that he really wanted to aid the enemy as oppose to doing this for what he thought was a good cause for the united states? >> i think that's disputed territory and for better or worse we're not going to get a good answer on it because that part of the case is not going to go to the appellate court. had there been a conviction we have learned a lot more about what article 104 of the uniform code of military justice requires. we're not going to know that. it's going to linger as an area of uncertainty. >> the breaking news. let me repeat it for our viewers. private first class bradley manning found not guilty on the

most serious charge. charge number one of giving intelligence to the enemy of indirect means. that would have carried the maximum penalty of life in prison. he did plead guilty to several other charges facing 20 years in prison. the main charge aiding and effect the enemy through direct means not guilty. we'll stay on top of this story. we'll get more information from inside the courtroom. we have producers and reporters on the scene including chris lawrence inside that courtroom. we'll take a quick break. a lot more news after this. he's agreed to give it up. that's today?

the scene here is very different from the scene we encounter eed last naight. the fire has been contained and put out. we saw the canisters involved in the explosion. we heard from richard keith, who is the fire chief of the city. he says the investigation is going on but there are some clues. let's take a listen. >> we don't think there was any act of sabotage or anything like that. we think it was an equipment failure with a combination of maybe human error from one of the staff. >> reporter: wolf, it was confirmed there were 24 workers inside the plant at the time of the explosion. all of them were accounted for. eight workers were injure and

taken to hospitals in the area. we don't know the extent of the injuries. authorities are calling it a blessing. the fact there were no fatalities given the circumstances. we know this through richard keith, the fire chief that employees were actively manipulating thousands of cylinders inside the facility. as soon as the investigation ends they will try to think about reopening. as of now the plant is shut down. there were no fatalities. the community is relieved to learn there's no fatalities. people are still in the hospital and we're trying to find out the extent. we're trying to find out what started this massive fire and explosion. >> thanks very much. let's go to philadelphia where eight people are recovering after an explosion on

just two friends sitting down over scrambled eggs or was this morning's breakfast between hillary clinton and joe biden a preview of the presidential race. it's the second high powered meal for clinton in as many days. yesterday she had lunch with president obama over at the white house. there's a nice picture of them enjoying the meal. on the republican side a different situation unfolding. you have senator rand paul, the new jersey governor, chris chris

t tie are trading jabs. let's bring in our chief political analyst. what does this mean? >> reporter: not forming those circular firing squad that we're used to see democrats form. hillary clinton was in washington. she was meeting with a couple of her old colleague who is are important to her who is the president and vice president. we're told the meeting were pre-scheduled. you can imagine what was on the agenda, mideast peace talks and syria. you look at hillary clinton meeting with joe biden, these are two people who ran against each other in 2008.

they have been colleagues in this administration. we have been talking over the last months that it seems pretty clear that if hillary clinton were to run that joe biden might decide he would not and step aside. we don't know whether that came up at breakfast. i tend to doubt it. the republicans on the other hand are competing for a vision. they're kind of out in the wilderness now. they are trying to figure out what their party stands for because it doesn't work for them in the last election. >> you don't think the vice president said that at some point when the two of them were buy themselves are you going to run for the democratic nomination? he didn't ask her that blunt, direct question? >> knowing joe biden as you and i do, i wouldn't rule anything out. he tends to be very direct. i do think it's a little premature for either one of them to be doing this dance now. he doesn't have to ask her

directly. i bet at a certain point when she makes her decision he would be one of the first people she calls. >> i'm sure you're right on that. at to top of the hour the president's going to deliver another in a series of economic speeches. this one in tennessee. he's giving the republicans at least a little bit of an olive branch by proposing major tax reform meaning lower tax frs corporations but he wants them to reciprocate. what's going on? >> reporter: he's going to want to lower corporate tax rates. it's nothing new. in exchange he says he wants to use the one time revenue wind fall to create more middle class jobs by fixing the nation's infrastructure, for example. the republicans already have said this isn't a grand bargain

because it's not part of an overall tax scheme. they don't want to spend this money. they're dismissing it as dead on arrival. you see what the president is going with all of these economic speeches. he's putting republicans on notice that as far as raising the debt ceiling is concerned and the budget fight is concerned he's going to be aggressive and not going to hang back and he's going to put his ideas on the table and like to hear about a wait to move forward. >> we'll see what the president has to say at the top of the hour. thanks very much. i just want to remind our viewers that rand paul, the senator from kentucky will join us in the situation room 5:00 p.m. eastern. houses are starting to sell again big time. the market is hotter than in years. we'll tell you how much more your house could be worth. that's coming up.

chris lawrence is standing by. he was inside the courtroom when bradley manning heard the word. good news for him, not guilty as far as the most serious charge as far as aiding the enemy. what was it like inside? >> reporter: the courtroom was extremely quiet. i saw him fumbling with his buttons before the decision was read. as he heard the words not guilty, there was little to no reaction to him. after the hearing was completed and it was very quick, there was a slight smile from bradley

manning as he turned to his attorney and said a few words, very quiet. couldn't hear. there was a slight smile as everything came to a close. some of the people, his supporters who gathered in the back of the courtroom gasped and covered their mouths as they not guilty was read. after that not guilty verdict was read he was subsequently found guilty on about 20 other counts ranging from theft of state department cables and disseminating the record, name, e-mail addresses, ranks of tens of thousands of troops who served in iraq. >> in of those other charges where he's guilty he pleaded guilty. that was months ago. he pleaded guilty in the hopes that would end it. that didn't end it. he's relieved he didn't get

guilty on the charge of aiding an enemy. >> reporter: in this military there's no gap. the sentencing begins almost immediately. that will be 9:30 in the morning tomorrow. now that they have the sentence, the government will say here is what we think is an acceptable sentence. you have all the guilty verdicts and these charges. here is what we think bradley manning should serve. they will argue that. the defense will come back and say here is what we believe would be an acceptable sentence. the judge has the discretion to then issue a sentence up to the maximum so therefore if there were ten counts of ten years, she couldn't go beyond that but she can go anywhere up to that. the judge does have some discretion but the bottom line is he's likely to go to jail and go to prison for many years.

>> a lot of people think about 20 years. we shall see. it's up to this colonel now, the judge. she will review the arguments from both sides over the course of the next several days and make the decision how much years bradley manning will spend in prison. chris, thanks very much. chris will have a lot more on the story coming up throughout the day. good news for the housing market and good news for the economy. people are buying again. that's driving housing prices up, way up. 12% from this time last year. christine roman joins us from new york. everyone who saw the value of their home drop since the crisis began in 2007, 2008, is this strong enough to restore a lot of that lost value? >> that's a good question. nationwide values are still well below the peak in 2006, 20 or 30% below. in places like dallas and denver prices are above their housing bubble high.

it's more evidence of a strong housing recovery. home prices jumped in may. prices up around 20% in the past year. 20%, wolf in san francisco, louisiala los angeles, las vegas. it's a good time to be selling a price. should you be buying a house, there's not a lot of supply. some zip codes support bidding wars. it's a good time to buy. yes, buy now. >> what does this mean for people? >> it's at a historical low. that's affordable. prices as you point ee eed mults are recogniising. >> there's a high number of all cash deals. a lot of overseas investors swooping up real estate in this

country. these 10% every month price spikes are not sustainable and not very believable. there's the dark cloud to go with your silver lining. we've seen very good home numbers. >> very good numbers. good for a lot of people who own homes and want to sell. thanks very much. real new jersey housewife in real trouble with the law, so is her husband. we're taking a closer look at the serious federal charges they face. that's coming up. machine . at a dry cleaner, we replaced people with a machine. what? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it? hello? hello?! if your bank doesn't let you talk to a real person 24/7, you need an ally.

first direct mideast peace talks in three years happening right now here in washington. it's encouraging.

the secretary of state, john kerry, meeting with the chief israeli and palestinian negotiators. there they are at the state department a while ago. nobody thinks this will be easy but secretary kerry is setting his sights high. i'm joined by the vice president of new initiatives. he was a peace process negotiator for the u.s. over many years. the secretary is setting his sights pretty high. listen to the objective he put forward today. >> our objective will be to achieve a final status agreement over the course of the next nine months. >> as soon as i heard that nine months i said that's pretty fast giving the differences on both sides. is that doable? >> the reality is you know, as well as i, negotiates have two speeds, slow and slower. if they get traction then they

will probably violate the deadline then that will be okay. if it turns out there aren't adequate turns of reference, deep trust then i suspect it will be a much shorter movie. in any vent the notion of a conflict ending agreement which is what the secretary has identified is an extraordinary bridge to even begin to imagine crossing. on issues like borders and security the gaps may, may be bridgeable. on refugees in jerusalem now, i think about the grand canyon. >> they got close at ten of the clinton administration. you were involved. they got close during the bush administration. don't they start these negotiations, these final status negotiations now from where they left off in recent years.

>> if we could have started at various moments in these negotiations over the last 20 plus years from the last point of departure, i think you and i would have been drinking champagne already and celebrating. the problem is that with each new government on the israeli side you're going to have a different point of departure. benjamin netanyahu, next year the longest surviving prime minister in israel's history will want be put his on mark on these negotiations. i suspect that will involve walking back considerably on the territory issue. >> i heard john kerry say only he will talk to the media about what's going on over the next nine months of these negotiations. the israelis won't talk about it. the palestinians won't talk a about. only he will be authorized to

release information. is that realistic? >> it's one of the most intriguing things about this process. i've never seen the kind of radio silence that the americans have managed to impose on these two sides. i asked my friend to do a conference call and he said he wouldn't do it because he promised kerry he wouldn't talk. imagine an israeli government filled with so many parties who are at odds with netanyahu would respect this kind of radio silence. it's mark of real seriousness. >> it's encouraging if it happens. explain why you think there's a moment right now where the israelis and the palestinians could achieve a piece agreement ending this conflict once and for all. >> what i said was not to pre-judge the secretary's effort. i think there are some new

factors. number one is john kerry himself. whether obama will own this process remains to be seen. he's listen willful. that's frankly unique for a secretary of state to take these. egypts in perennial dysfunction. syria's got civil war. the one arena that appears to be quiet is the israeli-palestinian issue. i think both sides want to keep it that way. they may see a moment. the question i cannot answer is the one about benjamin netanyahu. peacemaking on the israeli side is not a story about the left. it's a story about transformed hawks. they took off kinds of risks.

is netanyahu a member of that cha chain? that's the factor. is this another maneuver related to iran in order to keep them happy. as israel's process go on this process so will the success or failure on this negotiation. >> let's hope they succeed. it would be great for the entire region. thank you. we're going to have more on the middle east process later today in the "situation room." we'll take a quick break.

from inside a tornado. watch this. wow. this is in italy. it happened yesterday in an industrial neighborhood near milan. chad myers is joining us. chad, obviously tornadoes are awful. these pictures very dramatic. >> reporter: very dramatic because what we saw in those pictures, i looked at them for 4 minutes now. the wind came from one direction, then all of a sudden there was very little wind, then the wind came from the other direction. the people inside that building were literally inside the

tornado proper and the winds spun all around it. about 8 to 12 people did get some injuries with this system but most of them were inside. that is a very large tornado for italy. now if italy or if all of the countries of europe were actually one country, called the european union, then they would have the second number of tornadoes of any country in the world behind, of course, the u.s. but not quite in front of canada. so no more weather for them today. just about done. that severe weather has moved over towards bucharest and into the eastern parts of europe at this hour. >> all right. quiet in europe. thanks, chad. we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back. thanks to the grit and resilience and determination of the american people,
